Greetings all:
?
I'm in the process of transferring two YahooGroups -- one as a main group and the second as a subgroup of the main group.
?
I just upgraded my Groups.io group to Premium and I was going through all the instructions as indicated and saw this page:?
/yahootransfer?with this?note at the top:
?
Yahoo Groups currently has an outage that is preventing us from transferring groups. We do not know if or when this outage will be fixed. Until it is, we have disabled new group transfer requests. Please do not upgrade your group to Premium until we know that the outage has been fixed. We will announce here when that happens.
Thank you, Yahoo! Not.
My questions are:
?
- If Yahoo fixes the outage and transfers start again, because I've started my process before December 1, 2019, does that mean my group and subgroup will still be allowed to transfer?
- If Yahoo doesn't fix the outage, (I know no one knows if or when the outage will be fixed), can we request a refund for going Premium? My groups don't have to be Premium groups -- we only shifted to Premium to be eligible for the transfer service.
- Are there any manual work arounds that anyone knows about? We don't want to get caught out there after December 14th with all of our data deleted.? (The plan is to give this outage a few days and then start downloading YEARS worth of files and leave the conversations there as an archive, but we're definitely DONE with Yahoo Groups.)

Maybe adding this Yahoo Outage message to the TOP of the instructions page would be a good idea because it's kind of a bummer to go through all the pre-work and Step 1 only to get to Step 2 and not be able to proceed.
?
Thanks in advance for any guidance that can be provided.? I know EVERYONE is working really hard to make this happen and Yahoo isn't exactly cooperative (to say the least!).
